Subject: kpathsea 2.5, dvipsk 5.58e, xdvik 18e, dviljk 2.4
New versions of dvipsk/xdvik/dviljk are in the usual place:
ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz
... and CTAN and its mirrors; see the end of this message.
Please use the nearest site, to reduce the load on our old Sparc 1.
The biggest change is using Autoconf 2.1 to prepare the configure
scripts -- who knows what that's broken. Aside from that, it's just
minor bug fixes.
The patch that John Interrante and others created for web2c 6.1 for the
previous kpathsea release should basically work for this release, except
for the configure scripts; you can get that as the file
web2c.kpathsea-2.4.help from the above sites. (Naturally, I am working
on the next release of web2c. It will be ready no sooner than a month
or two from now (and perhaps significantly longer); it's no use to ask
me precisely when, as I simply do not know.) I hope John (or someone)
can update the patch soon.
As always, thanks to the many people who contributed. I tried to record
names in the ChangeLog entries.

Here's the NEWS:
kpathsea 2.5
* Go back to calling db_insert after a successful MakeTeXPK, and check
for lack of an ls-R.
* Handle case of magstep -.5 for MakeTeXPK properly.
xdvik 18e
* The SelFile widget masks all but .dvi files by default (thanks to
Dinh-Tuan.Pham@imag.fr for implementing this).
* `G' can change the gamma value dynamically, as well whether grey is used.
* Crash when starting without a filename fixed (hopefully).
* `Can't find 300dpi using 300dpi' warning fixed (hopefully).
* Compile-time default mode removed; back to letting MakeTeXPK guess.
* Usage message improved for SELFILE case.
dvipsk 5.58e
* MakeTeXPK once again does umask 0.
* M[ode] lines in config.$PRINTER override config.ps again (as intended).
* Compile-time default mode removed; back to letting MakeTeXPK guess.
* -o option overrides o in config files.
dviljk 2.4
* Character 32 not downloaded on old printers, to work around an
apparent bug in the emulation on a Kyocera.
